Lysistrata, or The Nude Goddess

About

Mannes Opera presented a staged production of Mark Adamo’s LYSISTRATA, or The Nude Goddess as part of its season. The opera adapts Aristophanes’ classical comedy about the women of Athens and Sparta who withhold sex to force an end to war. In keeping with the conservatory’s mission, the presentation highlighted training in contemporary and rarely produced repertoire and engagement with living creators. The production was fully staged and performed in English, and it was presented off-campus at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater (John Jay College). Specific design and directing credits were not listed in the available sources.
